Hacia la divulgación de información de sostenibilidad en el sector público

Towards sustainability reporting in the public sector

Contenido principal del artículo

Resumen

La divulgación de información no financiera ha recibido un impulso importante en los últimos años y, con independencia del país e incluso del continente, parece existir cierto consenso a nivel global sobre la necesidad de extender las obligaciones de divulgación de información financiera de las empresas a la información de tipo no financiero, que permita dar cuenta de su impacto, por ejemplo, desde una perspectiva social y medioambiental. Esta tendencia ha calado también en el sector público y cada vez existen más iniciativas para que las administraciones públicas incluyan también información no financiera en sus informes, si bien hay que reconocer que los esfuerzos son más recientes y menos generalizados y todavía queda mucho camino por recorrer. La relevancia de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), y el compromiso de las administraciones para alcanzarlos, pueden ser un impulso importante para lograr avances en este camino. Este artículo se ocupa brevemente de la relevancia de la información no financiera en las administraciones públicas, las principales iniciativas llevadas a cabo en el contexto internacional y los retos a los que se enfrentan las administraciones para dar cumplimiento a esta demanda de la sociedad, entre los que se incluyen proporcionar información sobre su contribución a los ODS.
